Yes, this is what I am trying to do. With this in mind, I went back
and read about adjustments and realized that I'd have to do something
like what you just described. I think I'll just define the adjustment
when I load the window (and its treeview); that way, I have a
persistent name for it when I call my browse function.
Thanks for the direction; I *hope* to be alright at this point. But
the question is: which glaring documentation will I grossly
misunderstand next? O_o
Cheers,
Andrew
